Dubai and its new ambitious project

It seems that Dubai took a construction boom. The city has become home to a number of grand-scale buildings: the tallest building (unfortunately, not very long), the biggest mall and largest man-made island. Now plans for the construction of the largest scuba facility in the world. Several years ago the news reported about a similar project - Hydropolis (Hydropolis), which, unfortunately, was never built. If a Polish company "Deepwater Technology» (DOT) will result in the execution of their plans, the capital of the guests will be able to spend one night under the waters of the Persian Gulf.

This project will be used Swiss firm BIG InvestConsult AG, which will deal with construction of the hotel in the form of discs. The underwater portion of about 11,000 square feet (1,000 square meters. Meters) of living space will include 21 double rooms and stay at 33 feet (10 meters) below the level of the bay. The company plans to open a scuba diving center with a decompression chamber, spa, huge gardens, outdoor terraces in the surface part, and even a helipad for those guests who wish to arrive by air.

To allow for unforeseen events that often occur at sea, in the structure of the hotel have been made some changes. For added security, external drives are made buoyant and separated from the main part. In the event of a disaster they will perform the role of life-saving.
Wheels joins the huge transparent shaft, equipped with stairs and lift. Additional support surface part is provided by three adjustable columns.

President of BIG, Bogdan Gutkovskaya (Bogdan Gutkowski), suggests that this project will affect tourism in addition to many other industries. "Hotel Water wheels (Water Discus) opens up many new directions for development of hotel and tourism sector, housing and urban sector in the coastal offshore zones, such as new possibilities of care for the environment by creating a new undersea ecosystems, and actions to protect the rest of the world" - he says news agency World Architecture. "Additionally, we plan to create here in the UAE, and the center of an international program for environmental protection to the hotel as a laboratory for the study of ocean and deep sea."
Sure, it's grandiose plans.

While the idea is far from its implementation. Although the technologies have changed a lot and can now engage in underwater construction, which suggests that this and similar projects are not so far from reality, as it seems.
The famous oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau has represented projects controlled underwater colonies, which will allow fans of underwater life to do his favorite thing. Draft Water Discus can actually be one of them.

Record number of new Audi models

The intention of the German automaker Audi to increase the rate of sales to a half million cars per year and expand its influence in the markets of China, Germany and the United States in 2015 is now met with harsh realities, forcing the company to withdraw a little from his plan.

However, this goal Audi began actively campaigning for the registration of new models, starting with Q6, Q8, R6, S2, S9, RS1 and the RS8. Some of these names, such as Q6, RS1 and RS8 are already familiar, while the remaining four - is a completely new car, which had not previously been heard and rumors.

As for the model R6, it will be a new sports car company, which will take a niche under the current R8. Q8 SUV will be a senior fellow of the existing Q7, representing a very large and luxurious SUV, which the company has ever offered.

Audi e-bike Wörthersee:

At the annual festival Wörthersee, where fans gather product VAG, Audi will introduce electric bike e-bike, designed for riding and performing tricks. Opportunities to demonstrate the concept of professional trial Julien Dupont and downhill, and Peter Bernhardt.

By design e-bike, Shafers Hendrik (Hendrik Schaefers), inspired by his work in the racing cars and tried to feel precisely the created object, both emotional and strictly functional.

Audi e-bike Wörthersee is dvuhpodves with carbon fiber frame and carbon fiber wheels. The full weight of the bike, developers are not reported, but no electrical components, it weighs only 11 kg. Of these, the frame has 1600 g, and each wheel weighs 600 g of lithium-ion battery is built into the frame and is charged only for 2.5 hours. In the long journey it is replaced by a few strokes on the fresh. Electric two-wheeled Audi develops power 2.3 kW torque of 250 Nm. Bike has five modes of movement: muscular, electric, hybrid and three. The maximum speed can reach 80 km / h, power reserve is 70 km away.

The electronic system insures the rider when performing tricks, helping to maintain balance while moving at the rear wheel. A bicycle is accelerating, shifting the center of gravity forward, and slows down when shifting back. Saddle up-down button, headlight and tail light in the form of strips of LEDs.

Onboard computer Audi e-bike is tied with a smartphone owner that allows you to broadcast skating on the Internet (the camera is mounted on the helmet) and be aware of where your friends.

iMore: the final design of the next iPhone is not yet defined

The story develops in a spiral, and usually after there is a new iPad (funny pun turned out), the public begins to focus on the future model of iPhone. Constantly there are some rumors, assumptions, concepts, in general, the usual thing, and now just such a period. Moreover, the situation was quite tense, because the next iPhone, according to the update cycle of Apple (3G-3GS, 4-4S) to be severely altered in comparison with its predecessor not only filling, but also in design. Editor in Chief iMore, Rene Ritchie (Rene Ritchie), procured from their own "reliable sources" interesting information about the iPhone and the sixth generation, amid mass hysteria, by its nature it resembles "the spitting image of a hot body to a tub of cold water."

The giant screen, as in modern monstrofonah based on Android? Forget! Widescreen display with 16:9 aspect ratio? No way! Metal back panel? Yeah, dreaming! That's because Ritchie dispelled the dreams of some users to the nines, and for good reason. He said the reason for such a bold speculation and allegations involving "close to Apple sources, who with his own eyes have seen the new iPhone» is the active creation and testing of prototypes within the company.

Johnny Ive and his design team does not trust the sketches or plastic crafts, have touched the future of the product with their own hands, to feel how it would be in the palm of your hand which will give tactile feedback. Engineers and designers are also easier to work with the prototype, not only with circuits on paper or PC. These prototypes are the most often are the source of rumors about what would look like a new product. And in fact, as noted by Ritchie, the final design of the next generation iPhone is not even defined. Nevertheless, some important points have already been approved.

Thus, the Home button will remain a fundamental change in the mechanics of the interface iOS is not expected. Work on the new, more compact dock-connector really is, but no major changes are foreseen for the display. If we decide to Apple and to increase the screen size, then it is unlikely to exceed 4 inches. But most likely, the company will retain a 3.5-inch display. In principle, due to ease of iOS, it is quite comfortable for virtually any tasks (writing, based on personal experience, which includes a comparison with 4,3 - and 5,3-inch units), except for viewing video, although you can get used to it.

In addition, work is underway on the introduction of LTE-modem in the iPhone and the rejection of the maps Google, as a standard application iOS. It is expected that the release of the gadget will be held in October this year. At the same time can happen and start the 7-inch iPad.

Fiat Eye: ultra-urban electric car

The concept of electric Fiat Eye - a decision most of the problems of the modern personal transportation. The machine is extremely compact and highly manoeuvrable, making it an ideal means of transportation in urban areas. Fiat Eye does not create congestion and takes up little space in the parking lot. The author of the concept became a designer by the name of Mata Yes Dinard (Dinard Da Mata).

The work of this designer is flashed on the MobileDevice.ru, the most notable was, of course, the player-strap Creative, this time the artist has reflected on the future of transportation. Ultra-electric Fiat Eye runs on two oval wheels, which stretched on soft tracks. The machine keeps a balance on two parallel wheels, a Segway, using gyroscopes.

The system of gyroscopes in itself is well stabilizes the car when driving, but as an additional security tools available on the Fiat Eye set of sensors that scan the entire space around it. As soon as there is a threat, the security system begins to monitor the threat. If the driver does not react to danger, Fiat Eye seize control avoids collisions and stops. On the technical characteristics of the author does not say anything, but the car hardly accelerates faster than 45-60 km / h, it is enough to move around the city.

But he had only to stall the project as another enterprising man, George Williams, took hold of it, bringing it to the end. Body of the car has been improved in the studio Steve Smith Custom, and now is the presence of solid carbon-fiber wing of the fiber, the new headlamps with LED lights, front and side splitters.

X2 concept car from Yeon-Woo-Seong

The creator of this concept, Yeon-Woo-Seong, working in the automotive industry for 4 years. A major advantage of its design is that the symmetrical structure gives a distinct advantage when in traffic jams. Due to the fact that the machine has a symmetrical front and rear structure of the driver can drive in any direction.

Concept X2 is designed to Shanghai in the near future, due to population growth, also contributed to the city traffic. Parking will be less and therefore have to think about how to manage the site in order to accommodate the greatest number of machines. That's what made ​​the wheels that can rotate 360 ​​degrees. Inside there are just two seats for the driver, and a feeling that you are the owner of not one but two cars.
